I just installed the d3 beta with wine. After patching wine the installation was successful, but when I start the game I get the "your graphic hardware is too old :p"-message. Is there any way to play d3 with the open source radeon drivers (xf86-video-ati with KMS)?

Or will there be in the future. Does anyone know which features the xf86-video-ati driver is missing and/or if those features are on the 'todo' list?

I know that I could use the fglrx-drivers, but since my system is running totally fine now and installing fglrx is a major pain in the ***, I would rather install windows on a separate partition..

Unfortunately, I know very little about using ATI graphics with Linux and I know about Diablo 3 even less (except for that it looks like Diablo 2 with a quick glance), so I don't really have any tips on it specifically. I would like to suggest you to, if you haven't yet, check the #winehq channel at irc.freenode.net where many a knowledgeable person oft dwell.

A shot in the dark, but do you have media-libs/libtxc_dxtn installed? It adds some additional functions to Mesa that some games want, but it's patented and can't be added to it._________________“And even in authoritarian countries, information networks are helping people discover new facts and making governments more accountable.”– Hillary Clinton, Jan. 21, 2010

Hm... thanks.
I have a 512MB nvidia gforce 8400gs. I hope that is enough for DIII.
Will have to try once I got it._________________Kali Ma

So... I'm probably out of luck with my good old GMA4500 onboard graphics... _________________backend.cpp:92:2: warning: #warning TODO - this error message is about as useful as a cooling unit in the arctic
